94. S> multidens. Clarke ; leaves ovate shortly acuminate at both 

 ends miutitely sparsely hairy on both surfaces, heads panioled viscous hairy, 

 bracts small obovate viscous hairy deciduous, calyx viscous-pubescent, 

 corolla IJ in. purple. 



SiKKiM, alt. 3^6000 ft, 5 J. D. M., &c. Bhotanj Qriffith, Serb. Fropr. 

 n. 2398. 



Leaves 7^ by 4 in,, closely regularly serrate (often with more than 100 teeth to 

 the leaf ; hnth surfaces with few remote minute hairs and small scattered raphides. 

 Mraeis J in,, very viscous-hairy; bracteoles J in., linear-oblong, (^fipsule | in., 

 viscoas-puhescent, 4-deeded. Seeds \ in., subquadrate, fulvousJiairy ; areoles sub- 

 obsolete. — This is the so,called Sikkim S. Dalhousianus ; it is nearer the true S. pent- 

 stemonoides, but the young heads are never glabrous globose as in that, and the 

 panicle is compound very glandular-hairy. The corollas in Griffith's Hhotan example 

 are not more than li in., but are not thoroughly expanded. 



95. S> rbombifollus, Clarke; leaves Siubsessilo rhomboid-ovate 

 shortly acute at both ends glabrous, bracts small elliptic concave caducous, 

 bracteoles 0, corolla IJ-lf in. nearly glabrous. Goldfussia sesailis, JUlees in 

 DC. Frod/r. xi. 172, not Strohila/nthes sessilis, Wees^ 



Assam; JenJcms^ 



Sranches long, subterete, glabrous, Leaves (often unequal) 3^ by 2 in., remotely 

 serrulate, lineolate on both surfaces ; nerves 5 pair. Pedmnoles 1-3 in., 1-3-headed ; 

 heads \ in. diam., closely capitate ; all th^ bracts early caducous. Cdbyx in flower 

 J-J in., divided nearly to the base ; segments narrowly lanceolate, fuscous pubescent. 

 Corolla nearly as of 8. penistemonmdes, purple-imouthed. Mlamerds glabrous, 

 longer hairy near the base. Capsule not seen. — This seems very near 8.,pentste- 

 monoides, differing little but in the shape of the leaves ; the heads however, by the 

 time the first flowers expand, have lost all their bracts, which gives them a very 

 different look. 



96. S. ollg'oceplialusj T. Anders, ms, in Merh. Kew ; leaves elliptic 

 caudate-acuminate nearly glabrous ciliate, young heads globose, bracts 

 round concave glabrous, bracteoles 0, calyx hairy, corolla 1^ in. pubescent 

 without dark-purple.— Groldfussia sp, n, 24, Kerb. Ind. Or.. H.f. Sf T. 



TJsPEB Sikkim, alt. 5-7000 ft,; Yoksun, 4. J>, S., &c. 



A small shrub, 1-2 ft. ; branches slender, terete, glabrous. Leaves- attaining 6J 

 by 3 in. (usually smaller much narrower\ base^ cuneate, minutely remotely denticulate, 

 sparingly thinly lineolate, sparsely puberulons especially toward the margins beneath ; 

 nerves 5-6 pair; petiole I in. Bracts as in S. pentstemonoides, but rather smaller. 

 Corolla viscous-pubescent without, usually nearly black, — When dried hardly 

 distinguishable from 8. pentstemonoides but by the smaller heads and the ciliate 

 leaves. 



Vae.? Treutleri; heads slightly elongate, bracts ovate-lanceolate herbaceous hairy, 

 bracteoles i in. linear, sepals §-| in.— Sikkim, alt, 9-10,000 ft., frequent on Tonglo 

 and Sundukphoo, Treutler, &c. 



97. S. dasyspermus, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1873,. pt. ii. 94; leaves 

 elliptic or ovate acuminate very sparsely minutely hairy, heads even in 

 fruit capitate forming (by the falling of the floral leaves) quasi-panicles, 

 bracts small oblong caducous, corolla 1 in. blue glabrous without.

 floral leaves sessile cordate), crenate-serrate, subglabrous, minutely lineolate above;
